Since we are now experts on farm animals... we took a trip to a farm. The place was a flop. BUT there were animals and that's what we were there to see. The tractor was a bonus, and ice cream makes everything better. So as far as the kids know, the place was awesome.
Big boy is now a big fan of llamas, so at dinner we read Is Your Mama a Llama? Did you expect any less? He loved that there was a rooster, and even demonstrated how to walk like one. He fed the goats and pet them through the fencing. And was very impressed with the pig. Little man got a kick out of the animals coming close for food. I think we may need a pet goat.
Because the trip to the farm was not at all what we expected it to be, we decided we needed to stop at the carnival we passed on our way there. It was stupid hot, but Big Boy is a big boy now...ugh that kills me... and he had the best time on the rides!
He even sat on a horse on the carousel instead of choosing a boring bench. And while I rode with him I just HAD to sing our song from our Music Together class this morning:
"Merry go round, merry go round. Around and around and around....
...The horses go up, and then they go down. Around and around and around."
On the way home we learned there was a 4H fair nearby this weekend. Planning FAIL. Now THAT'S where we should have gone! (There's always tomorrow!)
